³² But I have prayed for you,^(A) Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”^(B)

¹¹ I long to see you^(A) so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift^(B) to make you strong— ¹² that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,^(A) but of righteousness, peace^(B) and joy in the Holy Spirit,^{(C) 18} because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.^(D)

¹⁹ Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace^(E) and to mutual edification.^(F)

¹⁶ Let the message of Christ^(A) dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom^(B) through psalms,^(C) hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.^(D)

¹¹ Therefore encourage one another^(A) and build each other up,^(B) just as in fact you are doing.
